Natalie P.O.V

I couldnt help but stop. I couldnt meet my idol in 5 days and have him remember me as the girl who fell into the fountain? I stopped playing and sobbed to Nolan across the room. The lights went out.

"Nolan? What are you doing?"

'It's ok, just stay where you are and i'll put the spotlight on so you can focus'

I calmed down and watched as the spotlight slowly became brighter and brighter. I could see nothing but the piano and Nolan's dark figure across the room next to the guitar, which looked like a person the way it was positioned. I tried to play, but i still couldnt do it.

"Nolan i cant do this, i cant go and meet my idol in 5 days and have him remember me as the girl who fell in the water fountain? When Selena came over, he forgot about me. She is so perfect. How could i ever get to her level? Its impossible. Did you see the way he looked at her?"

It went silent in the room.

"All my life, every night...i've dreamed of him looking at me. Exactly the way he looked at her.."

I wiped away a falling tear and placed my hands in my lap staring at the piano keys. I heard Nolan from across the room telling me to play, he picked up his guitar and strummed a chord. I breathed in and let a long breath out. Placing my fingers back on the keys, i carried on playing.

"There's nothing like us, there's nothing like you and me..together thru the storm. There's nothing like us, there's nothing like you and me..together..ohh"

I heard Nolan playing the guitar as i stopped. I looked up and i could see him walking towards me with the guitar.

"I gave you everything baby, everything i had to give. Girl why would you push me away..yeah. Lost in confusion, like an illusion. You know i'm used to making your day."

That wasn't Nolan? That sounded exactly like...Justin? A tall boy with thick brown hair with caramel eyes came into view. I was amazed. He put down the guitar and sat next to me on the stool. He smiled and began playing the next chords. He turned to me as if he wanted me to sing, giving me a small nod i started singing the next few lines.

"But that is the past now, we didn't last now. I guess that this is meant to be, yeah. Tell me was it worth it, we were so perfect. But baby i just want you to see."

We both started singing the rest of the song. It was so beautiful. The song was coming to an end and there was no more lyrics to sing. He stopped playing. I smiled at him and finished the chords for him. I pressed the last key and looked up at him lovingly.

"Hi Justin"

'Hey sweetheart'

"I'm sorry about earlier, i-"

'Shh, forget about that. I should've came after you. I'm sorry that had to happen to you, nothing like that should ever happen to someone like you. I wont let that happen again, i promise.'

I really believed him. I could feel how sorry he was in his voice and i could see it in his eyes. Until i remembered Selena, how perfect she was. I looked down at my knees and played nervously with my fingers. He placed one finger under my chin as i lifted my head up to face him. I was lost in his caramel eyes. His head slowly moved towards mine as he tilted it slowly. Our lips brushed together, just like my dream.

'Natt! Justin!'

Nolan was shouting over to us as the door opened. My dream was yet again ruined. We turned as the light flickered on.

'Justin? Natalie?'

I stood up in shock to see Scooter, Kenny and my boss in the door way. I was in big trouble.

"I'm sorry sir, i-"

'No apologies Natalie, into my office!'

"But sir, its not wh-"

'NOW'

I let go of Justin's arm and i held my head down as i walked towards the office. Nolan followed behind. Just before the door shut i heard Scooter talking to Justin.

'Justin, whats going on?'

'Scooter she cant get in trouble! It wasnt her fault!!'

'I dont want to hear it Justin, we're here to record your new track. Not to mess around. You know the rules?'

The door closed and i couldnt hear a word. I sat down in the black leather chair infront of his desk. My boss sat in his chair and stared silently at me. Nolan was sat beside me.

'So!'

He made me jump. My boss was angry, i knew he wasn't happy about what he saw.

'Would you like to explain what the hell is going on!!?'

I glanced at Nolan as he stared out the window. I looked back down at my lap and faced my boss.

"I'm sorry sir. We heard Justin was in miami today and i am such a big fan of him and we just wanted to get a glance of him recording but he wasn't in there so we went into the room next door and there was a piano in there and i began playing and then Justin walked in and we played together and then i guess things just got a little out of hand..."

He tapped his pen on the table for another 2 minutes. Nolan was still silent. I'd messed up big time. Putting down his pen, he let out a huge sigh.

'Natalie, i think we need to let you go'

He was firing me. Shit no.

"Sir please, i need this job! My mum and brother already work so hard to keep us going and my mum works 2 jobs every day just to earn a little extra for us? Please sir, i'm begging you"

I could feel myself getting upset. My eyes were filling up and i could feel myself playing nervously with my hands. I always seemed to do that when i got upset? I felt a tear quickly slip as i bit my lip. Wiping away the tear with my hand, i sniffled.

'I'm sorry Natalie'

I stood up and held out my hand for him to shake.

"It was a pleasure to work with you sir"

He shook and smiled at me. I returned the smile letting a tear drop. I picked up my bag and walked down the hall to the elevator. Pressing the button, i looked at all of the records on the wall. The doors opened and there stood Justin. He gave me a happy smile but it soon faded. He took hold of both of my arms and looked into my eyes.

'Natalie, whats wrong?'

"I just lost my job"

I got out of his reach and stepped inside the elevator pressing the button to go to the ground floor.

'What? Why!!'

"Because of us in the music room earlier. It was nice meeting you"

The doors closed before he could say anything. I began crying into my hands. I'd let down my family. I was the shittest daughter and sister ever. The elevator had reached the ground floor and the doors slowly opened. I kept my head down and my hair covering the sides of my face. I walked out of the front doors to see Martin smiling.

'Leaving early Natalie?'

"Forever actually, i've just been fired. Have a good day"

I turned back round and ran to my car. How could i go home to them? Tell them that i'd been fired. They'd be ashamed of me, embarrassed. This was the worst day ever.

OKAY SO THIS WAS PRETTY LONG. I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS ONE. ITS GONNA GET HAPPIER SOON I PROMISE. THANKYOU.
